We examine the relationship between the completion of 6 recommended vaccinations in childhood and the likelihood for having developmental psychopathology. Methods Two large-scale South Korean epidemiologic samples were used to examine whether completion of childhood vaccinations decrease likelihood of having ASD as assessed by Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) and behavioral problems scores. Parental reports on vaccination completion were categorized in groups: <3, 4−5, & 6. The primary outcome is the likelihood of having ASD and/or, internalizing, and externalizing behavioral symptoms. Likelihood of having ASD was categorized as: low (ASSQ < 10), intermediate (ASSQ = 10–14), and high (ASSQ ≥ 15). The risk for externalizing/internalizing symptoms was assessed with the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Parent Rating Scale. We examined the hypothesis in a Discovery Sample (DS) (N = 10,006) and verified findings in a Replication Sample (RS) (N = 29,381). Results 84.3 % of DS and 80.1 % of RS participants were fully vaccinated. In the DS, after adjusting for demographics and confounders, children with incomplete-vaccinations were at greater risk for ASD when compared to those fully vaccinated (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.42, 95 % Confidence Interval [CI] 1.17−1.73 with 4−5 vaccinations; aOR = 2.33, CI 1.53−3.56 with vaccination <3). The DS finding was confirmed in the RS (aOR = 1.44, CI 1.32−1.58 with 4−5 vaccinations and aOR = 2.19, CI 1.80−2.67 with < 3 vaccinations). In the DS, those with incomplete-vaccinations were at a greater risk for internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Conclusions We replicate our own and prior findings that vaccination does not increase ASD risk. Further, completing recommended vaccinations may offer protection against the risk of having ASD and other developmental psychopathology.

Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Heterogeneous mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic are documented in the general population. Such heterogeneity has not been systematically assessed in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). To identify distinct patterns of the pandemic impact and their predictors in ASD/NDD youth, we focused on pandemic-related changes in symptoms and access to services. METHODS: Using a naturalistic observational design, we assessed parent responses on the Coronavirus Health and Impact Survey Initiative (CRISIS) Adapted For Autism and Related neurodevelopmental conditions (AFAR). Cross-sectional AFAR data were aggregated across 14 European and North American sites yielding a clinically well-characterized sample of N=1275 individuals with ASD/NDD (age=11.0+3.6 years; n females=277). To identify subgroups with differential outcomes, we applied hierarchical clustering across eleven variables measuring changes in symptoms and access to services. Then, random forest classification assessed the importance of socio-demographics, pre-pandemic service rates, clinical severity of ASD-associated symptoms, and COVID-19 pandemic experiences/environments in predicting the outcome subgroups. RESULTS: Clustering revealed four subgroups. One subgroup-broad symptom worsening only (20%)-included youth with worsening across a range of symptoms but with service disruptions similar to the average of the aggregate sample. The other three subgroups were, relatively, clinically stable but differed in service access: primarily modified services (23%), primarily lost services (6%), and average services/symptom changes (53%). Distinct combinations of a set of pre-pandemic services, pandemic environment (e.g., COVID-19 new cases, restrictions), experiences (e.g., COVID-19 Worries), and age predicted each outcome subgroup. LIMITATIONS: Notable limitations of the study are its cross-sectional nature and focus on the first six months of the pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: Concomitantly assessing variation in changes of symptoms and service access during the first phase of the pandemic revealed differential outcome profiles in ASD/NDD youth. Subgroups were characterized by distinct prediction patterns across a set of pre- and pandemic-related experiences/contexts. Results may inform recovery efforts and preparedness in future crises; they also underscore the critical value of international data-sharing and collaborations to address the needs of those most vulnerable in times of crisis.

Language Abilities Associated With Household Income and Parental Education Level in Autistic Children During Early Childhood / Hosanna KIM in Autism Research, 19-5 (May 2026)

While well-studied in neurotypical children, limited research exists on the impact of these factors on autistic children's development, especially in early childhood. We examined the relationships between two socioeconomic factors, household income and parental education, with cognitive and behavioral profiles in a sample of 308 autistic children aged 2?3.5?years. We found that higher household income and parental education level were significantly associated with higher language abilities and lower externalizing behaviors. Moreover, autistic children from families with below-average income had lower language abilities compared to those from families with average or above-average income. The effects of household income and parental education level remained significant even after controlling for one another. Our findings suggest that lower parental education level and household income, particularly among families from the lowest economic backgrounds, significantly impact language abilities in young autistic children and may contribute to the development of externalizing behaviors, a pattern similar to that observed in non-autistic children. Given that early language abilities are predictive of adulthood outcomes in autism, these findings underscore the importance of supporting socioeconomic stability in the first two to three years of life for autistic children and providing appropriate early interventions to promote language development.

Overconnectivity of the right Heschl's and inferior temporal gyrus correlates with symptom severity in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder / Daegyeom KIM in Autism Research, 14-11 (November 2021)

Despite the emerging understanding that ASD is a developmental disconnection syndrome, very little is known about structural brain networks in preschool-aged children with low-functioning ASD. We aimed to investigate the structural brain connectivity of low-functioning ASD using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging and graph theory to examine alterations in different brain network topologies and identify any correlations with the clinical severity of ASD in preschool-aged children. Fifty-two preschool-aged children (28 with ASD and 24 with typical development) were included in the analysis. Graph-based network analysis was performed to examine the global and local structural brain networks. Nodal network measures exhibited increased nodal strength in the right Heschl's gyrus, which was positively associated with all autistic clinical symptoms (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and Childhood Autism Rating Scale [CARS]). The nodal strength of the right inferior temporal gyrus showed a moderate correlation with the CARS score. Using network-based statistics, we identified a subnetwork with increased connections encompassing the right Heschl's gyrus and the right inferior temporal gyrus in preschool-aged children with ASD. The asymmetric value in the inferior temporal gyrus exhibited right dominance of nodal strength in children with ASD compared to that in typically developing children. Our findings support the theory of aberrant brain growth and overconnectivity as the underlying mechanism of ASD and provides new insights into potential regional biomarkers that can detect low-functioning ASD in preschool-aged children. LAY SUMMARY: This study supports the theory of aberrant brain growth and overconnectivity as an explanation for ASD. Measuring the right HG and inferior temporal gyrus provides new insights of potential regional biomarkers underpinning ASD in preschool-aged children.
